content of all Internet messages worldwide (web queries and mail) dropped
below
50%. It is clear that, as
Can anyone tell me if the non-Latin Vietnamese scripts (I believe they are
called chu han and chu nom) are somewhere in Unicode 3? I could not find
them in a quick look through the excellent "roadmap."
Many thanks!

Is Unicode's so-called "bidi algorithm" really bidirectional, that is, does it govern
horizontal text layout in right-to-left and left-to-right languages?
Or is "bidi" a metaphor here, for more possible text orientations, including vertical

Hello,
I studied Chinese in "horizontal, left to right mode" in Boston, but my impression is
that Chinese and Japanese newspapers are still mostly written in a vertical,
frequently right-to-left, boustrophedon. I know nothing whatsoever about Korean.
But, of course, I am not using the

No, not exactly. They don't go "as the ox plows", and it is entirely
improper to utilize the term "boustrophedon" to refer to them. They are
written in columns,

Hello,
Thanks to Kim Peck (and Michael Everson!) for the lovely text orientations example.
So now the obvious question: does Unicode have a formal plan to expand the bidi
algorithm to cover more text orientation options?
Is it extraordinarily difficult to do this, at the level of a
